Businesses can log in to the service using Suomi.fi identification and authorise another party to transact on their behalf under the Suomi.fi authorisation. The Suomi.fi mandate used in the service is “Customs clearance”. Customers who have an authorisation for payment deferment, that is, who can pay the customs invoice later, can obtain the release decision and customs clearance decision in the service straight away. Customs’ cash customers, in turn, can only obtain the release decision after they have paid the customs invoice.
Only goods that have arrived in Finland can be cleared by Customs.
If the goods have arrived in separate consignments, a separate import declaration must be submitted for each consignment. You can provide the date of arrival only once in the import declaration, and the details of only one means of transport.
If you don’t know what goods the consignment that has arrived contains, you can, for a charge, request an examination of the goods.
To submit message declarations, you need an authorisation granted by Customs. In message declaration, the business customer sends the customs declaration from its own system directly to Customs' system. Read more: Message exchange
